In situ off‐line extracorporeal photopheresis conducted in a real‐life situation at a Hemobiotherapy Department in France: A comparison of costs vs on‐line procedure
Abstract:Background
The off‐line extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) procedure requires photosensitization in an external cell therapy laboratory as per the French regulatory requirement. This regulation results in higher time and costs compared with the on‐line alternative performed entirely at the patient's bedside. Recently, full in situ execution of the off‐line procedure has been implemented in the Pitié‐Salpêtrière Hospital Hemobiotherapy Department (Paris, France).
